The presence of Trump in our lives can be compared to the “chicken and egg” phenomenon.  Did Trump cause our immorality, ignorance, and lies, or did an intellectually and morally failing electorate bring Trump into power?

The author of the meme here believes it’s the latter of the two, though I would say that it’s impossible to make the call here, as neither could have happened without the other.

In any case, all this leads to another discussion that Americans have constantly with one another: Is a difference in politics worth losing friends over?  In my own mind, I frame the question a bit differently: How close do I want to be to someone who, for whatever reason, honestly believes that Trump is a good, honest, and effective leader of the United States?

I’d far rather have an evening martini and watch Jeopardy with my wife–even on a night when I really hate the categories.
